Philippians 2:13 For it is God which works in you, both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Let’s look at what we are told in these verses.
Paul encourages us to “work out” our salvation.
Not because salvation depends on works, but because it’s a gift that transforms our daily lives. To “work out” our salvation means to live it fully, allowing its impact to shape our actions, decisions, and relationships.
This process requires effort, humility, and a genuine reverence for God, acknowledging that the journey of faith is serious and calls for diligence.
We are designed with a purpose for living life.
God’s Word teaches us that we should think about each other in the same way that Christ thought about others.
He was willing to make Himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, and humbling himself by becoming obedient even to death on the cross.
This was done for our benefit, so that we could be set free from sin and reconciled with God.
You’ll notice here that Paul quickly reminds us that we are not alone in this work.
God is at work within us, empowering us to desire and to do what pleases Him.
He shapes our hearts, our motivations, and our actions for His purpose.
Our role is to be responsive, leaning on His strength to live out the faith we profess.
And Yes, it is easier said than done, because in our own lives, it can seem like there is a battle between good and evil at every turn.
Our mind can become consumed by thoughts of how we are being treated wrongly by others and how to get back at them for their perceived injustice against us.
We tend to forget that vengeance is the Lords.
So, as followers of Christ, we must learn to be obedient even in difficult situations, always seeking the best outcome for those around us.
We know that there will be times when we will not receive fair treatment from others, but we must remember that God is our ultimate Judge and that we are to seek justice from Him rather than through our own actions or the legal system of this world.
Our main goal should be to live out our faith in Christ as an example for those around us, so they too can come to know God and find salvation by His grace alone.
We must ask God to give us the strength and determination to persevere in life according to His will, living humbly and serving others selflessly, even when it’s challenging.
We must learn to trust in His power and love.Work Out What God is Working InPhilippians 2:12-13WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL FREE One Year Online SubscriptionOver 40 Years in PublicationNewswatch Magazine provides current World News in the light of Bible ProphecyOne of the central ways we grow as disciples of Jesus is by having intentional relationships with people who share the same goal.
